The Guns of "Django Unchained"
Django Unchained is one of my favorite movies of all time ever since I saw it back in 2012. This South-Western revenge flick comes from the legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and offers up some incredible visuals, a truckload of squibs, and some period-correct firearms. One of the armorers on the film was Larry Zanoff and this comes to no surprise as he has worked on some of Hollywood’s biggest films over the last 30 years.
Guns of "3:10 To Yuma" (2007)
The 2007 movie “3:10 to Yuma” is a modern remake of the 1957 film of the same name, which was based on a short story by Elmore Leonard. Directed by James Mangold, the film is a gripping Western that follows the story of a struggling rancher named Dan Evans (played by Christian Bale) who agrees to escort the notorious outlaw Ben Wade (played by Russell Crowe) to the town of Contention, where he will board the 3:10 train to Yuma Prison.
